Cloud Types blends gothic post-rock, indie, and abstract noise into moody, autobiographical soundscapes. Formed in 2024 by Sean Brooks (formerly of longstanding psych-rock project, Minmae) following a decade-long hiatus, the band emerged from personal loss and creative resurgence. Influenced by artists like The Velvet Underground, The Cure, Joy Division, Aldous Harding, Brian Eno, Scott Walker, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Cloud Types evokes melancholic textures, poetic lyricism, and a quietly psychedelic shimmer.

"Not that there really is a representative Tombstone In Their Eyes sound, but opening their latest album, Asylum Harbour, with their recent single, “In Your Eyes,” is a great move. Somewhere in its claustrophobic density, its lysergic radiance, and its abrasive-sweet psych-gaze ebbs and flows, you at least realize what you are getting into here and, more importantly, just how unique and exploratory the band is". Dave Franklin/The Big Takeover "Tombstones create walls of sound that are simultaneously sonorous and hazy. These are cavernous, stoner lullabies that descend into post-rock soundscapes and are wrapped in dark shoegazing dreamscapes." (Broadway World) Tombstones In Their Eyes’ is John Treanor (guitar, vocals, keyboards, songwriter), Nic Nifoussi (bass), John Miller (guitar), Phil Cobb (guitar), Courtney Davies (vocals), Clea Cullen (vocals), Stephen Striegel (drums/percussion) and usually Paul Roessler on keys/backing vox. "Tombstones In Their Eyes play a particularly American form of shoegaze, and a particularly SoCal variant at that. They bring out the dirty, distorted, deranged, drug-addled amplifier worship of proto-Shoegaze acts like Dinosaur Jr., Husker Du, and The Jesus and Mary Chain inherent of the early Shoegaze classics and arc-welds them to some Josh Homme‘s Desert Sessions creosote-soaked psych rock."

Mercury Transfer is the recording project of Ryan Smith, former drummer for the California post-hardcore/emo trio Foreseers. Exploring varying sonic avenues such as shoegaze, ambient, post-rock and noise rock, Mercury Transfer emerged as quarantine recording project in 2021 with their first release, In This Heat, We Grow Weary. Then, in March of 2022, Mercury Transfer released their second LP, Martha, incorporating interview segments Ryan conducted with his paternal grandmother, crafting songs around clips of her voice intermingled with his own. His most recent release is Where Light Never Goes, a collaborative EP with vocalist Nick Chism, combining the ambient shoegaze sounds of Mercury with Nick's brutal screaming vocals. Last Day Deaf called WLNG's first single, Bones, "... a hymn of desolation" and "a hollow, unholy descent into a chasm of thoughts and emotions."
